First Week of Classes

I survived my first (half) week of school! What a whirlwind! Classes have been intense, but I've come to expect that out of the pharmacy program. Many of our classes are continuous from one year to the next, and often with the same professors. So...

Hoosier Weather 101

I realize that the topic of weather is usually reserved for talking with elderly folks, like your grandparents, during awkward pauses in conversation. And, if you're from Indiana or the midwest, you're probably familiar with the weather patterns...

Decision 2008

Because I'm Canadian, I didn't get to vote in the election today. However, that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in the results. After all, isn't the entire world watching to see who becomes the leader of the free world? I had...

A Very Busy Two Weeks

What a CRAZY time my life has been since I last posted a blog. I'm currently at home for Thanksgiving break, but the professors didn't let up on the work until the very last minute of class on Friday. I had a quiz in lab on Thursday like usual...

Why are College Students ALWAYS Sick!?

I have flu-like symptoms. Flu-like symptoms are never fun, and usually when I get sick I like to wallow in my misery on my couch at home with my two dogs laying beside me keeping me warm while watching a good movie on TV. That kind of thing works well...

Projects, Projects, Projects

In pharmacy, we're used to going to lecture and then going home to study the material, and then taking a test on the material. However, the past few weeks have been a complete change for us because we keep getting papers and projects! The good thing...

Retrospective Spring Break: 2006

A few weeks ago, a groundhog by the name of Phil told us all that there would be six more weeks of winter. Since then, Mother Earth has been playing cruel jokes on those of us living in Indianapolis. She teases us with 50F days, ,followed by says of sleet...

Retrospective Spring Break: 2007

I've been a bad blogger lately...but now I'm done all my cluster exams and I am almost on spring break! The only thing holding me back from leaving campus and crashing for a long (and desperately needed) nap is an oral presentation that I have...

Meet George

George is a 13 year old female miniature schnauzer that I am helping take care of for the next couple weeks. She is incredibly grouchy, but I'm working on trying to cheer her up! Having to take care of a dog has really thrown a loop into my daily...
